Customer Reviews

This book is excellent therapy

Keep this book around your desk. Peek at it every now and then for a breath of uncomplicated creativity. Simple is good.

What a fun book

I got this for my birthday. I am an art teacher and this was purchased for the art history portion of the book (I am a movie and history buff as well...so bonus) What a treat looking through this book and trying to guess what each stick person picure might be. I am planning on showing these to my graphic design students, what a great lesson in the making! It was the hit of the party!

Great Book Greater Man

Jeffrey Metzner is ingenious with a nack for inventing things that one wishes they had invented. This book is a must have and will soon be incorporated into every art history textbook - I'm sure. I had the priveledge of being mentored by Jeffrey Metzner in advertising classes in SVA. All I can say is hopefully these prints are in production in a large scale signed by you! 1 of 1 signed Jeffrey Metzner! I'll pay any amount of money for "The Godfather."

Classic Conception and Humor

This book is great. It offers the right amount of humor and portrays the scenes perfectly to the exact work. Jeffrey Metzner was one of my great friend and mentor when i attended the School of Visual Arts. Hes an aclaimed artist and a great guy to learn from. Highly recommended

EXCELLENT!!

Stick is a genius idea and a pleasure to read. This book is filled with interesting stick figure drawings of famous works of art, great moments in history and iconic images. Jeffrey Metzner's style is obviously simple but mentally interactive. And I never thought stick figures could be so beautifully humorous. This would make the perfect gift for literally anyone at any age. I know because I just flipped through the entire book with my 8 yr. old nephew and my 72 yr. old grandfather. We all three enjoyed it equally.
